Hi Artem,

Such a statement really needs to be backed by numbers...

Let's operate with some examples:

Bugzilla gets around two dozen bug reports weekly which encompass at
most thirty emails, which equals to four emails daily on average.

This immediately debunks your statement above.

$ git log v5.19..linus/master | grep Fixes: | wc -l
2928

So that's 46 bugs fixed per _day_. Most of them not reported
through bugzilla...

I don't know what it debunks.

Bugs reported in the last 7 days:

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/buglist.cgi?chfield=%5BBug%20creation%5D&chfieldfrom=7d

Check for yourself please.

I don't see anything even remotely close to your numbers and I tend to
believe you've calculated something incorrectly.

Artem
